New 4 Star Admiral
« on: Tuesday, Oct 19, 2021 11:41 am »
The Biden Administration is making Rachel Levin, you know, the transgender, a 4 star Admiral in the National Health Service. No prior service, no qualifications, apparently no brains! I just can't get my mind around this lunacy!!!

World's thinnest fruit salad rack for someone of flag rank. Didn't even get the "ate all your vegetables" ribbon and doesn't know it stem from its stern.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Weird.  There are "ranks" in the National Health Service?  Do I have to sign something to get to be a Buck Private?

Just a tiny bit offensive to actual military men and women.

Did not know Richard was married until 2013 ... and he and his ex-wive have two children together.   And, yes, his preferred name in HS was Dick.

At least some things haven't changed.  He's still a dick.

Maybe they will die laughing.

I got curious and checked what that meagher fruit salad was about. You won't find those ribbons on any Armed forces chart, they aren't there. Instead, you have to look at The Awards and Decorations of the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.

Seems like everybody wants a snazzy uniform.

Anyway, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awards_and_decorations_of_the_Public_Health_Service at the preceding link, those can be found. (Who knew?).
Sum total of ribbons and badges stand for:
Public Health Service Presidential Unit Citation
Public Health Service COVID-19 Pandemic Campaign Medal    
Public Health Service Regular Corps Ribbon    
Commissioned Corps Training Ribbon
Assistant Secretary for Health Badge    
Office of the Secretary of Health and Human Services Badge

Sorry, but I'm underwhelmed. Not even an Ebola campaign ribbon.

They also want snazzy firearms to go with them.  Every damned Bureaucracy in DC has their own armory.  It's like they're kids again, "playing Army."

I'd like to have some of the toys I played with as a kid, only IRL.
We had some neat stuff, starting with the (Mattel) Tommy Gun...

The real deal can be had, for 50-60K...

With millions upon millions of rounds of ammunition.

@Smokin Joe

I have known some people who have some industrial-strength "gongs" to wear,and generally speaking,if you see them in their dress uniforms,all you see is their rank,name tag,a CIB or CMB,and jump wings.

The only time they were their superman stuff is when ordered,or when traveling in uniform. Lots of times all those pretty ribbons impress people who will give you upgraded seating and meals.

Rest assured,if you see a E-7 or higher rank enlisted with infantry brass,a CIB/CMB,and jump wings,rest assured he has rows of stuff he could be wearing,but chooses not to.
